HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA Games\ If you’re on Windows 64 bit like me, you’ll find it in: If you’re on Windows 32 bit, you’ll find it in: Drill down on the left side to the Need for Speed game that you already have installed.
In any case, hit the Windows key + R on your keyboard to get a run dialog, and enter regedit and hit enter. Then again, if you’re playing Need for Speed on your PC instead of a console, you’re probably already a hardcore PC gamer and know your way around regedit. There is a simple solution for this conundrum, but you’ll have to use the registry editor. Of course, hitting play here isn’t going to work because the game isn’t installed yet. When it sees speed.exe (which is associated with Need for Speed Underground in my case) in the EA Games registry key, it assumes that Most Wanted has already been installed and gives you the option to play it. Most Wanted has a play button instead of an install button even though I haven’t installed the game! The reason this happens is that both games have a main executable named speed.exe and the Autoplay program checks the registry to see if that executable is already installed. In my case, I had already installed Need for Speed Underground, and this is what I saw when running Autoplay off the disc for Need for Speed Most Wanted: It doesn’t matter which game you install first, the second will exhibit the behavior I am about to describe. The first game will install and play flawlessly, however, something strange happens when you run autoplay on the second game. If you own both Need for Speed Underground and Need for Speed Most Wanted, you’ve inevitably tried to install them together.
